Weberov pojam birokracije
Weber's Concept of Bureaucracy

Summary/Abstract: The author traces the development of the meaning of the term "bureaucracy" up to Weber, suggesting that Weber’s analysis of bureaucracy is superior to all preceding contributions to the understanding of that concept. This analysis is a part of the tremendous effort towards the codification of the categories of social sciences. Weber never defined bureaucracy but defined its "ideal type", an approach which, in the author’s opinion, possesses distinct methodological advantages. Weber saw bureaucracy as the main factor in the rationalisation of modern world. The developments which have taken place in the meantime have only instensified the features which contributed to the rationality of bureaucracy as an instrument. Thus technocracy, too. may be interpreted as maturation in the direction anticipated by Weber's model of bureaucracy.
